The Loyola Maroon Vol. XLII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, February 18, 1966 No. 13 Presidency Needs No Change—Schlesinger By FRANK PETERSON "Let the organization of the presidency stay as it is," said Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., eminent historian and author of A Thousand Day*, in a speech to Loyolans last night in the fieldhouse. The presidency should be a creative office, he said, and "creative government is almost always a little disorganized." SCHLESINGER cited Frank lin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy as presidents who demanded "fluidity and flexibility in their staffs." A too rigid organization, he said, makes the president "a prisoner of a single construction of organization," causing him to "lose the feel of the office. His instinct becomes useless on many issues." The Pulitzer Prize-winning historian called on Americans to elect men best qualified for the presidency, instead of tampering with the constitutional mechanism of the office. He declared that "the presidency is an intensely personal office," yet "it is the people who choose him, and the character of the people is reflected in their president." "The presidency is where the moral leadership of the country resides," he stated. Americans should strive to be morallymorally right and active and should choose men who properly reflect these ideals. In his speech, entitled "The Future of the Presidency," Schlesinger declared that today the president "must be a man who is in the middle of every issue, every decision." The qualities of "initiative, decision, and execution" are the qualities of an effective president, he said. THE PRESIDENT should have "an image, an intuition, of a future America," he should be able to "translate this insight into performance," and then "mobilize the men and women" around him in order to execute his program of ideas, Schlesinger said. An effective president, he added, must possess "judgment, vitality, nerve and faith." Schlesinger asserted that the executive branch today, despite three reorganizations since 1939, is laden with "frustration and dissatisfaction." He explained, "every branch of government in recent years has enlarged its powers over the presidency." He continued that "an active president gives us four branches of government: congress, judiciary, president, and executive bureaucracy." The active president, he added, may have difficulty with the executive bureaucracy, "that permanent government,"government," which "has a rooted dislike for change." Schlesinger said that great "new burdens are on the president in the nuclear age." Problems involved with the national economy and foreign affairs also burden the office, he explained.TODAY, said Schlesinger, some feel that President Johnson's Vietnam policy is unconstitutional, yet he stated that Johnson's "actions are wholly aligned with the constitutional authority of the presidency." He added that the "Fulbright hearings in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are a valuable cheek on the presidency. Their role is to clarify doubtful actions of the presidency and to inform and increase public understanding." "The presidency," according to Schlesinger, "is one of the most problematic positions in our government." Since 1787 the nature of the office "has been under constant dispute," he said. The problem concerns "interpretation of the Constitution as regards presidential powers." Should there be a broad interpretation resulting in a "strong president" as Lincoln and Roosevelt were, or a strict interpretation resulting in a "weak president," who merely "executes the will of congress?"Schlesinger, whose appearance was arranged by the Loyola Student Council, noted that it was Andrew Jackson who "revolutionized the office of the presidency" by employing a broad interpretation and "considering himself a trustee of the people's rights." Jackson "transformed the conception of a strong president from being an instrument of the rich to being an instrument of the poeple and a defender of the people's rights," he explained. Schlesinger indicated that each "strong president" after Jackson has done the same. He indicated that changes could be made in the legislative branch and listed the "seniority system, reapportionment, and 4-year House terms" as subjects for consideration. In an interview for the Maroon following his speech, Mr. Schlesinger answered the following questions: Question: Has the U.S. military intervention in the Dominican Republic affected the Alliance for Progress? Answer: Yes. It has been a great setback for Alliance for Progress objectives in Latin America. Question: Has Castro and Communism experienced a resurgence because of our intervention?Answer: Certainly not. Question: Is the Alliance for Progress working under the Johnson administration? Answer: The Alliance for Progress as used by President Johnson has seemed to have revived private American interests in Latin America. The Alliance's implementation has been hindered, notably in Peru. Dr. Kahlaf Researches Louisiana Gnat Infested Swamps On the outskirts of the city there lies a dark and mysterious place inhabited primarily by buzzing "vampires". The location is usually referred to as the swamps or marshlands, its populace, blood-sucking insects, particularly mosquitoes and Most Orleanians can attest to the menacing presence of the pesky mosquito, which has become so prevalent in recent years that money for "mosquito control" has been appropriated for this area. Now attention is focused on the long neglected gnat. Dr. Kamel T. Kahlaf of the biological science department and his research assistants have begun intensive research on them. These tiny insects feed on the thousands of fishermen and residents in swampy areas. The marsh gnat is seldom seen in New Orleans, except for the Michoud and Chef Mentcur areas, Dr. Kahlaf said. In March and April swarms of gnats appear in southeast La., especially in the marshlands of the Mississippi river peninsula below the city. They are also abundant in November. During the next two months Dr. Kahlaf and his assistants will be investigating the insects in the field and capturing them there. He has been studying the Louisiana gnats since he came here two years ago. His research has gained momentum during the past eight months through the financial aid of a one-year $5,520 grant from the National Institute of Health. He has been assisted by several interested students, including Dan Diamond, premed senior, who has served as human bait. A great deal of the gnat capturing has been done by Diamond, who resides in Covington, La. He sits outside about dusk near his house during gnat season and catches them in a bottle when they bite him. "The gnat is a more tenacious insect than the mosquito. While you usually can frighten the mosquito away easily, the gnat doesn't move until he has finished his meal," Diamond said. Most of us do not realize the seriousness of gnats as disease carriers. Several years ago there occurred in Dr. Kahlaf's native country, Iraq, a widespread epidemic among horses where many died. Although there is no conclusive proof, Dr. Kahlaf is of the opinion that it was probably due to gnats. It has also been suspected as carrier of the encephalitis germ in Africa. "The gnat does not migrate as far as the mosquito does, and generally is not carried by the wind," Kahlaf pointed out. He has personally served as bait on some of the field trips, and after the days of irritation and itching from the bites, Dr. Kahlaf has concluded that they can be more annoying: than mosquito bites for some people. A majority of the millions of gnats stored in his laboratory have been caught in the many light traps in the area which are used in mosquito control survey. Separating the minute gnats from the other insects which are attracted to the light traps is the most meticulous task involved in the project right now. Although to the unscientific eye most gnflts look alike, their habit and behavior can be quite different. Studies have revealed that not all types are attracted to light traps. Dr. Kahlaf's present concern with gnats is classifying and locating the different species, determining which are most abundant, and finding out under what conditions they bite. He has been interested in these insects for 14 years and has studied at Oklahoma and Illinois universities in the 1940's through 1952. He then returned to Bagdad until two years ago. Countless varieties of gnats can be found all over the world, particularly in warm areas. There is much to be researched—diverse questions, data to be compiled on the subject.And, Dr. Kahlaf, in the scientific tradition, is seeking to find some of the answers. KAHLAF Fr. Twomey Visits Capital The Rev. L. J. Twomey, S.J., director of Loyola's Institute of Human Relations, will attend a meeting of the Advisory Commission on Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., next Wednesday and Thursday.On Friday, Feb. 25, he will speak on "Social Responsibilities of Colleges and College Students" to the faculty and student body of Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, Mich. Father Twomey will speak at the University of Wisconson on Sunday and Monday, Feb. 27-28. He will address a group of post-graduate students on Sunday on "Ethical Imperatives in Industrial Relations."On Monday graduate students in the university's Industrial Relations Department will hear him speak about "The Principal Threat to World Peace: Poverty and Racial Discrimination."

CHARBONNET Loyolan Beats Chess Champion "Develop your pieces solidly. Control the center of the board. Maintain mobility." These are the three basic secrets of effective chess playing according to Frank RePass, New Orleans chess champion. RePass visited Loyola Monday evening to lecture on his specialty and play all comers. To show his audience that champions are not to be feared, he gave a play-by-play description of a famous game from the annals of chess in which amateur E. Z. Adams of the New Orleans' Paul Morphy Chess Club clobbered Mexican pro Caros Torre back in the 1920'5. RePass then played simultaneously the 17 chess buffs brave enough to challenge him. He won 18 of the 19 games played, one of them in less than five minutes. The only Loyolan to beat the champ was Steve Cochran, freshman physics major from Ne\V Orleans. Cochran said RePass made only one small mistake. He lost one pawn and was never able to recover throughout the hard - fought game. RePass, 22, is a junior at Tulane majoring in philosophy. He is a former state champion and winner of the Louisiana- Mississippi open chess championship.He was invited to lecture at Loyola by Bernie Arghiere, chairman of the chess subcommittee of the Student Union recreation committee.

Janice has also performed in various productions of the Gulf Coast Theatre of the Arts in her hometown. Often rising at 6 a.m. to practice her music, Janice's chief ambition is to one day sing with the Metropolitan Op- era Company of New York. "The only time we ever catch her singing though," remarked one of her dorm mates at Immaculate, "is when we hear her in the shower." The oldest of four children, Janice "loves to eat" and dislikes "complainers and rainy weather." The comely sweetheart, who works part time for the Chaplain, Fr. Molloy, maintains a 3.1 average. Summing up her queenly qualities, one of her dorm mates stated that Janice "always looks and acts like a queen, even in the sloppy sweatshirt she is so fond of wearing."

"The new dorm will be a far cry from the first dorms here," she said." and once we get started ther's nothing to stop us from growing and improving the dorm even more." Miss Scalia's office is now located on the first floor of Biever Hall across from Mrs. Sicard, House Mother for Biever Hall. She will be head of the dorm, directly under Miss Purine, and director of all personnel. Her time will be chiefly reserved f6r her main duty of looking after all the girls. "I'd like to help the girls with any personal problems in the dorms that I would be (jualified to help solve", she said; "I want to keep these problems within the dorm." Miss Scalia's time will also be used in supervising the cleaning and maintenance of the dorm and some business affairs.
